The first meeting between Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese lived up to the hype. Will the two rivals reunite on Sunday?
The Fever are in Chicago to face the Sky, who have lost four consecutive games, but Caitlin Clark's status remains a question as she tries to work her way back from injury. Clark has missed 12 of Indiana's first 25 games with quad and groin injuries, also sitting out of the WNBA's All-Star Weekend.
Indiana has stayed afloat with a 13-12 record entering Sunday's contest, but the Fever are only 5-7 without their star and could use her firepower against a motivated Sky team in Sunday's matinee.

Is Caitlin Clark playing today?
Clark's status for Sunday's game has not been determined, but the Fever announced Thursday that there was "no timetable" for her return. That likely does not bode well for her chances of playing against the Sky.
While the Fever said testing revealed no new injury for Clark, the team is playing it safe with her health. Clark missed Indiana's first two games out of the All-Star break, including a win over the Aces. If she misses Sunday's contest, Clark will have missed exactly half of all Fever games played to this point.
The Fever labeled Clark "day-to-day" after the All-Star break, but it's unclear whether she is particularly close to a return.
What is Caitlin Clark's injury?
Clark has a right groin injury, the Fever confirmed on July 16.
Clark appeared to be emotional after suffering the injury late in Indiana's win over Connecticut on July 15, sparking fears that she could be facing another extended absence. With under a minute remaining in the game, Clark found a cutting Kelsey Mitchell for a backdoor layup. On the pass, Clark appeared to tweak her groin and came up in significant pain.
